I like the beach

When Todd first started talking about a beach vacation, I warned him that I wasn't much good in tropical weather. As it turns out, under the protection of SPF 50 and a beach umbrella, I'm quite happy on the beach. Day one of our vacation was spent lounging around, reading, swimming and body surfing in the ocean, and little else. It was fantastic. It's a pretty rare treat these days to have so little scheduled, and it's been great. To stretch our legs we walked along the beach and watched para-surfers, kicking in the surf on the way down and back. That was the most exertion we put out all day.
